The abortion stories that need your help

The MoJo Daily newsletter, Monday through Friday. [View in browser]( [Support our nonprofit journalism]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter](     September 18, 2024 Hey, I'm Abby Vesoulis, a national politics reporter in the DC bureau. Roughly one in five abortion patients are traveling out of state for abortion care, according to [2023 estimates]( from the Guttmacher Institute. That's hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of people. Are you one of them? Do you know anyone who sought out-of-state reproductive care? Or did you help them do so? To contextualize America’s evolving abortion landscape, I'm hoping to [compile personal narratives from people]( who had to leave their state for reproductive health care, as well as people who helped abortion seekers along their travel journeys—and I'd love your help. If you sought abortion care or miscarriage maintenance out of state, [we’d love to talk to you]( about the money you had to spend on flights, gas, and hotels; the childcare arrangements you had to make; the health risks you faced, the time you had to take off work; and the hoops you had to jump through to get a 15-minute procedure or take a few pills. If you regularly help abortion travelers, [tell us about all the support you provide]( and how necessary it has become in today’s dystopian health landscape. Please [fill out this form]( with some details about your experiences and we will contact you if your story is a good fit for inclusion in our forthcoming print and/or radio project, provisionally called the Abortion Travel Diaries. If you prefer to connect over encrypted messaging, you can reach me on signal at avesoulis.09. If you'd like to share your story but remain anonymous, that's certainly ok. Talk soon. —Abby Vesoulis Advertisement [Hope Credit Union]( [Top Story] [Top Story]( [Trump Just Introduced a New, Dangerous Immigration Proposal]( By invoking "remigration," the GOP candidate implied the mass deportation of more than just immigrants.
